110 km / 68 miles southeast of Cusco to Combapata (1 hour and 30 minutes by car). From there, travel another 31 km / 19 miles to the hanging bridge (45 minutes by car)
This 33-kilometer (21-mile) long and 1-meter (3-feet) wide bridge is the perfect spot to see the Apurimac River Canyon in all its splendor.
Every second Sunday of June, about 1000 local people come to weave it with braided straw of ichu grass and chachacomo, a process that takes three days. The task, which predates the Incas, uses traditional techniques and is executed in the framework of ritual ceremonies and dances performed by the family members of the area.
The bridgework finishes on the fourth day giving way to singing and dancing.
